How a simple drawing can help solve a problem
Once I met by chance with one of my acquaintances, whom we had not seen for a long time. We decided to sit in a cafe, chat over a cup of tea, and ask each other about the news. So word for word, and my friend shared her situation with me: “I decided to develop my business in a new direction - via the Internet. Created groups in different social networks. networks, I designed them beautifully, I fill the content with useful information, I even suggest various interesting promotions that people subscribe to my group, but there is no reaction - absolutely calm. I seem to be doing everything right, but something, all the same, is wrong, and what - I do not understand. Can you give me any advice?"
- And you draw your problem, - I answered, - Imagine your situation in the form of a mountain, and just draw with pencils or paints.
- An interesting idea, you have to try …
We went home, and the next day my friend called me:
- The drawing is ready. Of course, I am not an artist, but how did it happen. In the picture, I am walking along the road that leads to a mountain village, carrying a backpack of knowledge for people. I haven’t come there yet, I’m just coming up, so I haven’t drawn myself. I feel some excitement, anticipation, expectation of new discoveries. This is my first time here, I do not know what kind of people live here, how they will accept me, maybe they will not pay attention at all that I am walking through their village. This road leads through the pass, beyond which other settlements … Maybe you will take a look? I myself cannot understand what my drawing means, what I need to see there.
- Well, send me an email, let's see what your problem looks like …
I look at the drawing, and I understand that in the drawing there are no people to whom she brings knowledge, nor my friend herself - only empty houses, a forest, a lake and mountains. I ask:
- And who do you want to share your knowledge with - the trees? How will clients come to you if they are not in the focus of your attention ?! Add, finish your drawing so that clients WANT to go to you!
After about half an hour, she again sends me her drawing with comments:
- First, I finished painting people who meet me with joy and curiosity. Then she transformed the windows of houses from one wall to the door, completed the flower beds, flowers, swings - after all, children live there. At the end, I finished painting myself with a backpack of knowledge, going towards people…. And now what i can do?
- Wait, - I answer - The subconscious mind itself will prompt the way out …
A few days later, a friend called me again:
- I understood everything! I didn’t write my posts and articles on my own behalf, I didn’t write from the bottom of my heart, but simply stuffed useful information into them, and people were not attracted by this! They need to be with a soul, with love! Somehow so suddenly I realized it, just some kind of revelation! Now I write in a completely different way, and people themselves began to subscribe to my group, they leave comments, they ask questions, even several new clients have appeared! What is the secret of this mechanism? How does this happen?
- It's just that you with your subconscious began to speak in its language - through images, so it answered you. Any situation can be drawn and through the drawing, connecting to the subconscious, to find the answers within yourself. It always works like that …
Would you like to speak the same language with your subconscious and find all the solutions there?

Solve My Problem In Two Days! Is It Possible?
Such requests from people who are not familiar with psychotherapy are heard quite often. People find out that you are a psychologist and immediately try to get a universal recommendation on the problem they are interested in. I believe that explaining to interested people that psychotherapy does not work in this way and that there are no universal answers is an educational task of psychotherapy.
